Bank of America Plaza, Skyscraper in Downtown Tampa, United States.
Bank of America Plaza is a 42-story office tower standing 175 meters tall in Downtown Tampa. The building rises prominently above the surrounding area with a sleek, modern design that dominates the local skyline.
The building opened in 1986 under the name Barnett Plaza as Tampa's tallest structure at the time. It held that position until 1992, when another tower surpassed its height.
Located in Tampa's Central Business District, the building represents the commercial growth and architectural development of Florida's business landscape during the 1980s.
The tower is easy to spot from various locations in Downtown Tampa and serves as a useful landmark for navigation. Its central position makes it simple for visitors to orient themselves within the business district.
In 2002, a stolen small aircraft crashed into the tower, an unexpected event that marked the building's history. This incident is rarely mentioned when people discuss the structure today.
